"Although, if I were
Jonah, I wouldn't have
told those guys to toss
me overboard. That
was kinda' STUPID."

"I understand,
My precious."

(Shrug.)
"Well.....I guess
ya had to be there."

[SMILE!]
"Yes, child.
I was."
*************************
Then they said to him,
What shall we do to you,
that the sea
may quiet down for us?
For the sea
grew more
and more
tempestuous.
He said to them,
Take me up
and throw me
into the sea.
[Jonah 1:11-12]
